hello everyone!!

well went for more blood and my hcg is at 1ooo, they done a scan and they saw the sac ....... still got the next hurdle which is to wait nine days, have another scan to see if they can see the yolk!! Im very pleased with the progress!!!

louise sorry to hear about your plans to hold off ttc , but maybe it will be less stressful when you are happy in a new job... it might help with ttc a lot!! good luck

Hi kaylo ,glad to hear you had a lovely time. Its a killer tho when you overspend (story of my life, i am desperate with money, it burns a hole in my pocket ) Lucky i have a sensibile dp to keep me on the straight and narrow

lou im sorry ur having such a hard time at work. My heart goes out to you cause i know how hard it is when your job is getting you down, never mind having the stress of ttc on top of it all. try not to worry too much about your exam,im sure you did fine x

af was due today but still no sign of her yet. guess that ties in with my late ov theory.wish she would just show up so i can get on with things. Im having cramps so she is def on her way,just taking her merry time obv.

Hi Girls

Sorry I haven't been around, I had my exam (don't think I did very well) and been trying to look for another job. By the sounds of it it seems like everyone one has had a few problems of their own though . Suzi I hope everything goes well for you and little bean- im sure it will . Seany I def agree with Bubble, you need to go to your G.P and demand some answers. Im sure by being more assertive something will get done and after reading your last thread there prob is a strong possibility that you ov'd l8r on in cycle- thats what I do im never when i should be. Day 21 progesterone's are for those who ovulate normally i think. If they did a day 25/27 im sure they would see something different. Bubble I have my fingers crossed for dh results- i hope everything is fine. Hope Reggie is settling in well. I am in a little predicament with work. Am desperate to change jobs but know if I do I may have to hold off with the Clomid I really don't want to do that but work is making me so miserable I don't think I have a cat in hell's chance of ttc feeling this way. Anyway sending babydust out to you all xx

Bubblebell1 · 19/06/2009 15:16

Seany That is definatly a posibility. that would explain the low level and your symptoms now.

I would try

telling him you want your dp to have a sperm test. ((they wont give you any treatment until a problem with him is ruled out and it could speed things up if you got it out of the way now))

explaining that you have been activly ttc for over a year. temping and using opks etc. you know there is a problem and you feel he is delaying the inevitable. you want to be sent for a scan to check for pcos.. explain the hair etc. you want a blood test to check your fsh and lh on day 3 and then day 21 progesterone. you also want him to refer you to a specialist.

If he wont do it then def change dr. Write everything down and take it with you. shows him you mean business and you wont forget anything when he annoys you

i had 2 progesterone tests before they decided to help. i bought taking charge of your fertility and there is a pull out section to take to your gp (which i took with me)

I hope they help you soon seany, i found being assertive got me what i wanted. they are there to help not make you feel worse.

Weeeelll i rang my gp and he said (and i quote..)"off the top of my head i think the level was 2, we will probably just do the test again next month" WTF!!!!

A change of gp is def in order, the man is useless!!

Bubble try not to worry too much- I wouldnt have been able to wait either to start the clomid.

Im starting to wonder if i ovd later this month, which would mean the test was done too early?

OP posts:
Bubblebell1 · 19/06/2009 10:12

seany def phone her and ask. then we can search the internet for answers together

DHs results arent back will have to call again on monday. ((worried coz i was supposed to wait til results were back to start the clomid but i just couldnt wait ))

seanybosmummy · 19/06/2009 09:27

Im sure the results will be fine bubble, let me know what happens.

Thank you for your encouragement, you are a wee star xx

I mite ring docs today and ask what the levels are, as i don't think i could wait until monday to find out

OP posts:
Bubblebell1 · 19/06/2009 08:49

seany just because the levels on day 21 were low doesnt mean you didnt ovulate this cycle. you could of ovd later and there fore that would explain why your cycles are irregular. it could be that you ovd after day 21 and these are pg symptoms or you could be ovulating now. Keep goin babe. you could ovulate at anytime. I suppose the only way you will know is when AF makes an appearance or doesnt

Im using the cheapies.... i prefer them.. the CB 1s are tripe and def not worth the £20 when i can get 20 for £3 on ebay.

well... its day 14 and im expecting a + opk. im getting all the signs now.. achey down below and high cervix position. Im hoping that something happens soon.

DHs sperm test results should be back today too. im nervous.

phew for that i thought i was on my own with the hair thing lol

Is it the cb opks your using bubble? Have fun with the bding tonite

I dont know whats going on with my body, my boobs are heavy and uncomfortable today and they keep tingling (they dont usually get like that before af), also i had alot of cm today . any idea why i would get this so late on in my cycle?

OP posts:
Bubblebell1 · 18/06/2009 20:53

suzi i hope sat u get some positive answers.. im willing your bean to be a nice healthy sticky one

seany i normally get my results off the receptionist too and if they look at the form sent back from pathology then it will have the progesterone level on it. maybe call tomorrow and someone on here can usually help. atilla is fantastic when it comes to technical questions. ((Im a hairy mary too dont worry )) i just hope that you get some anwers soon. i know that when i got my progesterone levels back last cycle i was so disheartened. i felt like i had been trying for nothing... fighting a losing battle as it were... but stay happy... i know it will happen soon... you deserve it.

I have been using opks and up until today there has only been 1 line. today ive had a few twangs down below and a small amount of ewcm((nowhere near the normal amount)) then my opk had a line on it but not a positive iykwim. gonna get busy anyway just for the fun of it

I know what you mean suzi there is always something to worry and bite your nails about. i really hope saturday brings you good news.

Thanks for all your support girls, i really appreciate it xx

bubble it was the receptionist who gave me my result. She said it said on the notes "progesterone ? did not ovulate".i will ask for more details when i go on monday-i was just too shocked to think straight. I agree our situations are very similar. It must be some sort of hormone problem cause i have recently noticed a few coarse dark hairs on my jaw which i have been plucking out only to have them reappear a few days later.this is but ive noticed some longish hairs onmy chest

OP posts:
SuziBhoy · 18/06/2009 18:59

well the docs have said to go in on saturday for more blood tests to check if the hormone is rising or doubling properly!! then depending on the result will determine whats next!! i hate this waiting game [anxious acronym]

Bubblebell1 · 18/06/2009 18:52

seany i know how you are feeling babe. i know nothing i say will make you feel any better BUT now they have conclusive proof that you didnt ovulate and there is a problem then perhaps another visit to your gp and insisting they help is in order.

Did you ask what the progesterone level was?

Surely you would be a candidate for clomid. you seem to have similar problems to me and my gp has started me on it after only 8 months! Fingers crossed something gets sorted soon chicka

suzi i dont have any experience of hcg levels, Sorry. I hope that everything is ok babe. what are the drs going to do?

SuziBhoy · 18/06/2009 17:31

aww sorry your feeling down seany.... there always seems to be something that sets us all back... i remember thinking this ttc stuff was going to be easy and i was soooo wrong. and even when you do concieve there is still constant worry... we should all get medals!!!

suzi Im not 100% sure but i think i had slow rising hcg levels as i had to get bloods taken every 2 days and then wasnt as far on in my pg as they originally thought, and everything turned out fine in the end.I hope it all works out for you xxx

Igot my test results today-i didnt ovulate . Have docs app for monday afternoon to see what happens next. Its weird tho cause i had a small suspicion i mite be pg as ive been feeling different and very tired...probably cause of all the cobwebs in my ovaries [sigh]

As yous can prob tell i am not in very good form today, and feel like bursting out crying every 5 mins.

Did you use the opks this month bubble?
